Di Renjie sighed helplessly in his heart, with a wry smile in his heart. He accidentally fell into the trap of His Highness the Crown Prince. Although he said that as the minister of Dali Temple, as long as His Highness the Crown Prince decided to do this, he would not be able to escape from Dali. The responsibilities of the temple.
But this time, His Highness the Crown Prince has put all the people with status and status in the world against him. This is forcing himself to decide which force to lean towards.
And after this battle, I will never be able to wander between the noble family, the royal family, and the Crown Prince like before. I must choose a side firmly.
He could even imagine that after all the envoys from foreign countries arrived in Chang'an, even if the city of Chang'an was calm and nothing happened, His Highness the Crown Prince would personally create several accidents, forcing himself to face the nobles and wealthy families. The pressure from royal family members or envoys from foreign countries made everyone know that Di Renjie belonged to His Highness the Crown Prince.
But Di Renjie, who was now on the verge of riding a tiger, had no choice but to retreat when faced with the aggressive, sharp and bright eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince.
So Di Renjie could only look at Li Hong's eyes candidly, as if he was letting Li Hong's gaze point directly into the depths of his heart, and solemnly nodded and said: "Yes, Your Highness, I understand, and I obey your order."
Naturally, Li Hong would never allow a high-ranking member of the court to keep wandering between the noble family, the royal family, him, his father, the emperor, and his mother. Then he could occupy the interests of several parties, but each party He can completely put aside all the responsibilities.
As long as there are people in the world, there will always be conflicts of interest, and in conflicts of interest, no one can only take advantage without taking any responsibility.
No matter who you are, no matter what era you are in, there will never be a free lunch in this world unless you do not live in a social environment.
But as long as you live in a social environment, as long as you are a social animal, then you cannot always wander among all parties, taking advantage without suffering any losses.
Whether in the workplace or officialdom, this kind of person is synonymous with sleekness and sophistication in the eyes of everyone. This kind of person often makes some people think that he is aloof. In fact, this kind of person is the most scheming and the most stingy.
It just so happens that Di Renjie is a stingy person. Even the maids and servants at home are limited to twenty people. Even the residences of third-rank officials have never been repaired on a large scale. They will always be He often tinkered with small things, but the benefits... Li Hong didn't even know whether Di Renjie really had no money or pretended to have no money.
Or maybe Di Renjie is unwilling to carry out large-scale repairs and is a low-key person. However, no matter what his personal conduct is, if he is in the officialdom, he must follow the rules customized by Li Hong to serve as an official. The previous set of rules is obviously It is impossible to continue to work.
Even Xiaoxue and Xia Zhi, who are around Li Hong, obviously don't like to see Di Renjie, so we can know how good Di Renjie's way of life and officialdom is.
At that time, he misunderstood Lou Shide, the governor of Luoyang Prefecture, and even thought that Lou Shide was using insidious tactics behind his back. However, Wu Mei clearly told him that he could successfully be appointed as the Minister of Dali Temple, including Lou Shide. Virtue personally recommends and advises.
This also made Di Renjie blush and feel guilty, and was even speechless in front of Lou Shide, who recommended him for promotion.
Li Hong only has a beard on his chin. The shape of his beard is obviously based on several popular beard shapes in the previous life. Every day, Xiaoxue helps him trim his beard with sharp scissors, or he has a very narcissistic face. Looking in the mirror, looking at his beard, he boasted and boasted: Why am I so handsome! Why am I becoming more handsome every day!
But in the eyes of Li Zhi and Wu Mei, they didn't like it at all, and they even wanted to reach out and clean it for him. Wu Mei even encouraged Pei Wanying to secretly shave Li Hong after he fell asleep.
But unexpectedly, this seemingly easy task, but full of dangers and difficulties, was finally accomplished by Bai Chun.
However, after Bai Chun received strong praise from Queen Wu Mei, she also received a severe punishment from Li Hong. It is said that Bai Chun's plump butt could not sit down on the soft cushion with all her strength during those two days because it hurt!
At this moment, he was stroking the beard that had grown out again, and watched Di Renjie and the others leaving thoughtfully. Xiaoxue next to him did not hide his disgust at Di Renjie, and snorted coldly at Di Renjie's back.
"Your Highness, the Japanese envoy has arrived and wants to see you." Hua Meng walked into the study room of Chongwen Hall again, looked at His Highness the Crown Prince who was discussing something with Xiaoxue with a relaxed smile, and said respectfully.
"Japanese envoy? Who is it?" Li Hong looked back at Hua Meng with a strange expression as if he had been stung by a wasp, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
"It's Prince Ojin of Japan." Hua Meng looked at Li Hong, who looked a little shocked, lowered his head and said.
"I'll go... No way, that damn bitch really played with me? Isn't it true that I was tricked?" Li Hong sat upright on the sofa with a somewhat numb expression and murmured to himself.
"Prince Dajin said that he has something important to report to you, and...said that you will definitely meet him." Hua Meng handed over a heart-shaped jade pendant and said.
Of course, Li Hong knew that this heart-shaped jade pendant was given to him by Pei Wanying, and it was given to Pei Wanying by his mother. Later, he thought he had lost it, but he did not expect that it was taken away by that bitch of Princess Dalai.
Because of this matter, Pei Wanying also questioned herself. Even the queen mother didn't know how she knew that she had lost a jade pendant. In front of Pei Wanying, she even scolded herself several times, regardless of the prince's face.
But now that the jade pendant is back, I... seem to be unable to give it to Pei Wanying. What should I say if someone asks
The important thing is that this jade pendant involves a lot of things. If one of them is not handled properly, the queen mother will order her to go to the Japanese country.
It doesn't matter if she sleeps with a woman, but that damn bitch of Princess Da Lai obviously has something to rely on in her belly. Otherwise, she must come to Chang'an this time instead of letting her brother, Prince Da Jin, who has the same mother as her, come to Chang'an to act as the role. Envoy.
After all, in order to seduce Princess Dalai to Chang'an and verify whether she was pregnant, he even brought some new species of Datang, including the formula of perfume, and planned to tell her about them after she came over and let her take them back. Went to Japan.
He believed that those damn bitches would definitely come when faced with such a huge temptation and all the items that could make their Japanese country rich and powerful.
If she doesn't come, there is only one possibility, that is, there is something that, in her opinion, is of greater value than these things and makes her more confident.
Now it seems that there is only one reason, and that is that she has something in her belly!
In this way, as long as she gives birth to the "goods" in her belly, it must be a means for her to rely on and coerce herself. After all, she has stayed in the Tang Dynasty long enough, and she has followed some of the royal rules, systems, and regulations. Clearly.
She believed that a child in her belly must be much more important to the Tang Dynasty royal family than new crops or other things. As long as she had a child in her belly, whatever she wanted, the father would not obediently give it to her. send over
This damn bitch is really good at calculating. No wonder she said she would cancel her plan at the beginning. She didn't care at first and thought she was taking advantage of the Japanese woman. Now it seems that she is going to lose a lot!
Li Hong's expression now was as disgusting as if he had eaten half the fly in his mouth and left half on the food, and his brows were so furrowed that he was about to squeeze out the bitter juice.
Xiaoxue, Xia Zhi, Hua Meng and others were all kicked out by Li Hong. He and Prince Dajin were the only two people in the entire study room of Chongwen Hall.
"Speak of your conditions, don't go too far." Li Hong rubbed his hands and looked at the Japanese prince who had bowed seven or eight times since entering the house, and said with a warning in his words.
"This time I was entrusted by the imperial sister to bring over 200 envoys to the Tang Dynasty. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can allow them to enter the Chongwen Hall in Shangguo to study instead of the Imperial College or other schools. The expenses will naturally be borne by ourselves." Prince Dajin She was born to the same mother as Princess Dalai. Although she is not tall, she is quite delicate and has some shadows of Princess Dalai between her eyebrows.
"What else?" Li Hong asked in a sullen voice.
"No, the emperor said that she hasn't thought of it yet, and will let you know when she thinks of it." Prince Ojin said in a gentle and respectful manner.
"No more?" Li Hong murmured to himself in surprise: "What are these damn bitches planning to do? You seize the opportunity and don't even ask for it. Are you just retreating in order to advance?"
"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly just now." Prince Dajin looked at Li Hong's brows furrowed and felt a little headache for him.
"Oh, it's nothing." Li Hong calmed down and looked at Prince Dajin. He did not immediately agree to his request for the two hundred envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Instead, he continued to ask: "Why didn't your imperial sister come in person this time?" ? After all, she is much more familiar with the Tang Dynasty than you are. By the way, is she still that kind of King? "
Li Hong asked tentatively, after all, in the Japanese country, the king of kings served their gods. If Princess Dalai was really pregnant and had a big belly to serve, I'm afraid even the Japanese people would not agree, right? This is a serious insult to their God!
It is estimated that even Princess Dalai herself would not wander around the palace of Japan every day with her big belly, chanting and worshiping their gods every day.
Therefore, Li Hong could only hope that Princess Dai Lai still had not stepped down from her position as Saio. This would at least reduce the possibility of Princess Dai Lai, a bitch like her, getting pregnant.
But what shocked Li Hong was that Prince Dajin showed a meaningful smile when faced with his question, and then said three words in an extremely shameless manner: "You understand."
